I grew beetroot for the first time this year. We've had a mix of sizes but none as big as I'd hoped. I think it was all the rain - they didnt get a chance to put down a good root system and then too little sun and warmth.

Thank you Paull2, I thought November was the time to plant. Saying that, we have now decided to make the border along one side of the garden smaller so we can get an extra tree in that will take us a while as that part was still neglected and had to be sorted out. Two birds with one stone, or pip!!
